Ingredients
These ingredients for 2-3 person so you can adjust your ingredients according how much quantity of dudh poha you are going to cook.
Preparation
Take 1/2 cup of poha (flattened rice) and place it on a sieve. Gently rinse it under running water, ensuring each flake gets moistened but not overly soaked. Allow the excess water to drain off, and then spread the poha on a plate or clean surface to air dry for a few minutes. This step ensures the poha remains soft yet non-sticky, making it perfect for preparing a delicious dudh poha recipe.
Boil milk in pan
In a pan, pour 500 ml (or 2 cups) of milk and place it over medium heat. Allow the milk to heat gradually, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, ensuring a rich and creamy texture. This boiled milk serves as the base for the flavorful dudh poha recipe.
Add kesar in milk bowl
Take a small amount of the hot milk and transfer it to a small bowl. Add a few strands of saffron (kesar) to the milk and let it sit for a few minutes. As the saffron soaks, it will gradually release its vibrant golden color and delicate aroma. Set this saffron-infused milk aside to enhance the flavor and visual appeal of the dudh poha recipe later.
Add essential ingredients of dudh poha
Once the milk comes to a boil, add 1/3 cup of sugar and stir until it dissolves completely. Next, pour in the saffron-infused milk prepared earlier, followed by 5-6 thin slices of almonds (badam), 2-3 slices of cashews (kaju), and 5-6 pistachios (pista). Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cardamom (elaichi) powder for a fragrant touch. Mix everything well to combine, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully, creating a rich and aromatic base for the dudh poha recipe.
Cook poha
Finally, add the soaked poha to the milk mixture and stir gently to combine. Let it cook over low to medium heat until the poha becomes soft and absorbs the flavors, blending seamlessly with the rich, aromatic milk. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the pan. Once the poha is fully cooked and the consistency is creamy, your delicious dudh poha is ready to serve.
